Chapter 367: Wei's Identity

In addition, Yan Song and others acted too quickly, and Wang Xiao didn't believe that there was no traitor.

Wang Xiao didn't say much. The doubts that he could perceive would certainly be noticed by Emperor Minghuang as well. Instead of him raising them, it would be better to let the other party realize them himself.

"I... understand."

The Emperor Minghuang's voice was trembling slightly, and it contained sadness, self-blame, confusion, and anger.

"Your Majesty, let me give it a try."

"No, it's too dangerous!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I don't care about Yan Ming and Wei Guo. At most, I will waste some time to deal with them. Don't you want to know what their purpose is?"

"I will investigate it myself."

Wang Xiao heard fatigue in his voice, and he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

"If your guess is true, your Majesty's actions may alert the enemy. Why not hand it over to me? I will live up to your expectations and give you the truth."

"Please! Be safe."

The Emperor Minghuang was worthy of being the ruler of a country. He was not bound by personal emotions and quickly regained his composure to make a decision and informed the key points. After receiving the instructions, Wang Xiao stood side by side with Zhu Xiaokun.

"Your spirit is awe-inspiring, and I admire you! I had some minor friction with you two in the other world, but now we are both ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so let's put the past unpleasantness behind us! I believe that with the two Taoist brothers joining us, we will definitely be able to fulfill our mission."

"As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. It was all just a misunderstanding before." Yan Cong said with a smile.

"It is my honor to fight alongside you, fellow Taoist." Wei Guo smiled, and his feminine voice gave Wang Xiao goosebumps.

"Brother Wang, this is a trap. I can go alone. They dare not do anything to me!" Zhu Xiaokun sent him a message to inform him of the danger.

"Your Highness, since I have already promised to help, I will not break my promise. And Master Yan also said that the circle can accommodate up to four people. Wouldn't it be better for me to go with you so that we can take care of each other?"

The two communicated via telepathy, and just when Zhu Xiaokun was about to insist, he received a message from the Emperor Ming.

"Xiaokun, you go with Wang Xiao. I trust you."

"In that case, let's fight side by side!" Zhu Xiaokun seemed to be doing it reluctantly, but in fact, with his back to the two of them, the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc.

Wei Zhongxian and Yan Song did not object, and acted as if they didn't care who went.

The Emperor Minghuang took the Dragon Prison Circle from Yan Song, learned how to activate it, and then carefully inspected it. After confirming that there were no problems or hidden dangers, he officially activated it.

Wang Xiao, Zhu Xiaokun, Wei Guo and Yan Ming sat cross-legged and relaxed as required. The silver circle hung above the four people's heads, fixing the space. Then, before they could actively release their souls, the circle released a strong suction force to pull their souls out.

The Emperor had urged it very gently, but it turned out to be more overbearing than he had imagined.

“It’s a good thing!”

Wang Xiao looked at it with envy, then transformed his spiritual body into an ordinary soul, and then slowly approached the circle.

"Such a familiar scent, very subtle, what is it..." Wang Xiao looked at Yan Ming and Wei Guo. Since the two were too close and the scent was only leaked for a moment, he could not distinguish them accurately.

The four people's spirits gathered in a "hall", as if they were one. From the outside, it was impossible to tell what was inside.

The Emperor Ming gently waved his right hand, and the souls of the four people were pulled towards the depths of the mausoleum.

When Wang Xiao opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pitch-black environment.

"clang!"

The dull bell sounded for a long time, and Wang Xiao's spiritual body shook, and he almost saw stars.

"Where are we?"

"The Ming Emperor... is inside the... spirit of the bell." Zhu Xiaokun's voice was intermittent and he sounded not in good condition.

It took a while for Yan Ming and Wei Guo to make any movement.

As Zhu Xiaokun silently recited a formula, light slowly appeared in the dark environment. The light came from dense and complex patterns, shining like stars, and they formed a magnified Minghuang Bell.

However, a closer look reveals that a considerable portion of those lines are cracked, and there seems to be a bottomless abyss hidden in these cracks.

The sound of the bell was the resonance caused by the Emperor Ming's spell in the outside world, which was intended to reveal the hidden evil spirits, and the increasing number of cracks was the price to pay.

Wang Xiao looked carefully and found that there were indeed a small number of new cracks on the bell.

"The situation is not optimistic..."

He stroked his chin, then looked at Yan Ming and Wei Guo, who hadn't made any moves yet. Suddenly, a familiar breath burst out again, and Wang Xiao keenly caught that it came from Wei Guo because his emotions fluctuated.

"It's you! I want to see what you want to do." Wang Xiao understood and saw through Wei Guo's true identity. He seemed to take two steps closer to him unintentionally, waiting and watching to make sure that he could take him down if there was any unusual movement.

"Squeak!"

A sharp whistle suddenly broke out, and countless black spots flew out from the cracks of the Minghuang Bell, forming a human-like black shadow.

The shadow ignored them and roared angrily at the Minghuang Bell, "It's just a futile struggle. Let's see how long you can hold on! When I return, the sky will be stained with blood!"

The shadow slowly turned around and noticed Zhu Xiaokun at the first moment. He sneered: "It's you again. There are three new faces. It seems that you are not going to surrender. Haha, what's the use of having a few more helpers? Even if I am suppressed by this damn broken clock and can only display the same level as you, it is still as easy for me to kill you as to crush a chicken. But don't worry, I will still let you go. As for the others, three kills will be enough."

Zhu Xiaokun's face turned pale as he recalled the humiliation of the past. At this time, Yan Ming walked behind him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be angry, Your Highness. Lord Xinmo is a bit too straightforward. He doesn't know what you think."

"Oh? Looks like things are getting interesting." The black shadow crossed his arms and watched slowly.

"Curse the inner demon Wu Chi, and pay homage to the Heavenly King Wu Jian!"

Wei Guo suddenly knelt down and kowtowed. He no longer concealed his aura and his appearance changed drastically. He had a skinny body, a pair of sharp tentacles on his head, a vertical line between his eyebrows, and the same dark green eyes as Hong Qian after his transformation.

Then Yan Ming prostrated himself on the ground respectfully.

Zhu Xiaokun's knees were bent and about to touch the ground, but Wang Xiao immediately restrained him and prevented him from kneeling.

"You should kneel before heaven and earth, your parents, and the people of Ming!"

"Who do you think you are! What right do you have to teach me a lesson!" Zhu Xiaokun's long-suppressed emotions burst out.

"Suspicion has become reality, Your Highness, you have failed the expectations of many people."

"Expectations? Haha, I can't even see any hope, what's the point of talking about expectations? There's only darkness ahead!"

Wang Xiao didn’t know what Zhu Xiaokun had experienced, but from Wu Jian’s words, he could tell that he must have suffered a huge blow.

"As the old saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero. Brother Wang's potential is obvious to all, why don't you give up evil and join us?" Yan Cong stood up and persuaded.

Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and activated his perception to investigate him, trying to find out what race he was.

"Brother Wang, you don't need to look. I am also a human, but the difference is that I come from another world. Well, life or death, make a choice quickly, you don't have much time."
